JoeCo BBP1-D AES/EBU and analog I/O, BlackBox 24-track Player

BBP1D with AES/EBU digital i/o

Designed for use with digital mixing consoles that have AES/EBU inputs and outputs
Unbalanced analogue functionality also available (switchable)
Cabling not supplied, but available to order.

The BLACKBOX PLAYER is the first
dedicated multi-channel playback device specifically designed to replay
backing tracks or multiple surround stems for live shows and themed
entertainment. Able to simultaneously replay 24 channels of high quality
audio at up to 24bit / 96kHz, it is simple to operate and can be
triggered via its intuitive front panel, a footswitch or QWERTY
keyboard. It can also be triggered using timecode, or controlled via
MIDI commands, giving the live engineer, installation sound designer,
musical director or artist full control of the show at all times.

Based on the proven technology of the award-winning BlackBox Recorder, the BlackBox Player
provides an innovative solution to live performance playback in a
compact 1U rack-mounted package. Up to 24 tracks of audio can be
simultaneously replayed in 24 Bit / 96kHz quality, without a computer.
Multi-channel playback is important both for surround sound applications
and because it allows the live engineer to compensate for the acoustics
of the venue, or audience generated noise during the performance.

Playback material can be loaded from any Digital Audio
Workstation capable of creating files in Broadcast WAV format. The audio
files can be stored on a standard USB2 drive, or Flash RAM drive. A
simple naming procedure ensures that the correct file is replayed
through each output.

Set lists can be configured into simple XML format playlist
files. Playlists automatically cue up the next song ready for
instantaneous replay and multiple playlists can be stored ready for any
quick changes or alternative show formats.

Separate foldback mixes can be configured using normal
facilities on the console. An additional mix can be sent via the
headphone output for the musical director. For playback applications
requiring timecode synchronisation, the BlackBox Player can be configured to an incoming source of digital clock, or optionally word clock.

Integrated safety features ensure that the BlackBox Player can meet the all-important "show must go on" criteria. These include a unique automated fail-over mechanism that enables the BlackBox Player
to automatically switch to a synchronous secondary system using its
internal analogue relays in the event of a failure. (This would normally
require a costly external switching matrix).
